This salsa chicken with yellow rice is easy to cook, but it’s also delicious. You’ll never walk away hungry after eating this meal.

My husband sometimes teases me and asks what kind of chicken we’re having for supper. It’s true that I cook it a lot. Sometimes we have this super easy salsa chicken.

But other times I put a little more effort into the meal and serve this chicken potpie. Or this chicken and rice casserole.

Ingredients You Will Need

All you need for this simple salsa chicken recipe are the ingredients that the name of the dish implies. In other words, you need chicken, salsa, yellow rice, and of course water for the rice.

Directions

Always preheat the oven when you know you’ll be baking. Although mine heats up quickly, it still takes a few minutes. Next, spray your casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. You don’t absolutely have to do this, but it sure does make cleaning up a lot easier.

Pour the yellow rice into the casserole dish. Next, add water.

Place the chicken on top of the rice. Since I had chicken breasts with skin and bone, that’s what I used.

Divide the salsa and scoop it onto the top of the chicken. Next, spread it out over the top to cover it. That’s all you have to do before you put it in the oven.

Bake this, uncovered, for a while.

Since you’ll probably want a green vegetable to add color to your plate, use this time to steam some broccoli, green beans, or zucchini. Another thing you can do is pop some rolls into the oven.

Drink and Dessert

You’ll love the fiesta in your mouth when you eat this salsa chicken and yellow rice. For that reason, you’ll want a special drink like this lemonade smoothie.

After you finish the main course, you’ll definitely want a delicious dessert. If you haven’t tried this pineapple upside down cake, this is the time to do it.

Another dessert you’ll love (that is, if you enjoy chocolate) is my chocolate walnut pie.
